Linking Engineering and Philanthropy (LEAP) 2018

The LEAP 2018 competition challenges FIRST FRC teams to develop new technologies to engage and assist resource-poor youth in farming and agriculture, while working alongside Mercy Corps.

Autodesk has proudly partnered with Mercy Corps and Team 1540 to support FIRST Robotics Teams designing a solution to a global challenge. LEAP was started by students of Catlin Gabel here in Portland as FIRST FRC Team 1540 Flaming Chickens. It is such a good way to connect engineering design and philanthropy and I have been so proud to be involved the past few years as a mentor with Team 1540 and their outreach programs as they are such inspiring young humans.

Here are some of the slides information from the kickoff yesterday. Please share if you know a FIRST FRC team that may be interested and help solve a big challenge and win some prize money for their team along the way.
